Hey kids, come meet Santa

Kris Kringle will make an appearance during a community event from 3-6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 8 at Roseville Sports Center, located at 1545 Pleasant Grove Blvd. The following day at the same time, he will pop in at the Maidu Community Center, 1550 Maidu Drive in Roseville.

The second annual Santa in the Park event is hosted by the Roseville Coalition of Neighborhood Associations, a nonprofit organization that represents neighborhood groups throughout the city. They regularly host special events to develop a sense of community.

“We are very excited about (Santa’s) visits,” said Werner Kuehn of RCONA in a press release. “It gives our Roseville kids a chance to talk directly to Santa. We also appreciate having the Roseville Fire Department help us out.”

Santa will be arriving on a fire truck. The events will also feature crafts, food and RCONA will collect nonperishable canned food donations for families in need. For more information, visit www.rcona.com.
